Wax Originals
Discover one-of-a-kind hand-carved wax jewellery prototypes by Tamara Gervasio. Original lost wax designs available to cast in Sterling Silver or Gold, handmade in Cornwall.
A Career in Craft
Born and trained in Rome, I began my career in jewellery design and wax carving, developing bespoke collections and sculptural prototypes for private clients and workshops.
Over more than two decades, my work has evolved across Rome, London, and Cornwall, combining traditional lost-wax techniques with contemporary jewellery design.
